Is a barometer used to measure the mass of an object?
No it is used to measure pressure
Why the mercury pressur is multiplied with 12.6 to convert it into water pressure though its density is 13.6 times of water?
The conversion factor of 12.6 is used to convert mercury pressure to water pressure because pressure is directly proportional to the density of the fluid. Since mercury has a density that is 13.6 times greater than water, the pressure exerted by a column of mercury will be 13.6 times greater than the pressure exerted by a column of water of the same height. Therefore, to convert mercury pressure to water pressure, we need to divide by the ratio of the densities, which is 13.6.
What is Mercury thermometer use to measure?
A mercury thermometer is used to measure temperature.
Are barometers related to math Actually me in class 6 and have a math project on how math is used in daily life i thought a barometer would do. any ideas and is a barometer realted to math?
No! Barometers are not related to maths. They are devices used to measure atmospheric pressure... You may not be able to use barometers for maths project. - Abid
How much is 4qt of water?
Four quarts of water is equivalent to one gallon. In liters, it translates to approximately 3.785 liters. This measurement is commonly used in cooking and liquid measurements in the United States.
What are the uses of a Mercury barometer?
A Mercury barometer is used to measure atmospheric pressure.
What deos a barometer measure?
A barometer is used to measure air pressure. It measures the atmospheric pressure using air, mercury, or water and will be shown as inches of mercury or millibars.
What is the most commonly used barometer?
The most commonly used barometer is the mercury barometer.However, it is not easy to transport but it gives more accurate results. Another type of barometer is Aneroid barometer which is easy to transport and handle.
What is a mercury barometer used for?
Mercury barometer is used for measuring atmospheric pressure. Because atmospheric pressure changes with distance above or below sea level, a barometer can also be used to measure altitude.
What is the thing that has Mercury in it?
a mercury barometer but they are not used anymore because it will make you sick
Why is it mercury rather than water used in barometer and in blood pressure measurements?
A water barometer would have to be many feet tall because the density of water is much lower than that of mercury. In addition, the vacuum above the column would be spoiled by the water vapor pressure, far higher than that of mercury, and strongly temperature dependent.
What tool is used for measuring air pressure?
A barometer is the tool used for measuring air pressure. It can be either an aneroid or mercury barometer.
Which liquid is used in an aneroid barometer a mercury b alcohol c none?
mercury
Why is mercury used in barometers instead of water?
Because it has a high density... meaning that the volume increase or decrease due to altitude change is can be viewed in a practical sized barometer. If water, which had a much lower density, was used instead of mercury, the barometer must be at least 15m high.
Where the mercury barometer is used?
at sea level to messure air.
Torricelli invented a device for measuring air pressure called a(n)?
Torricelli invented a device for measuring air pressure called a mercury barometer. It consists of a glass tube filled with mercury placed in a dish of mercury. The height of the mercury in the tube changes with variations in atmospheric pressure.
What are the uses of mercury barometers?
Mercury barometer is used for measuring atmospheric pressure.Because atmospheric pressure changes with distance above or below sea level, a barometer can also be used to measure altitude.Read more: Uses_of_mercury_barometer
